And that slavery will grow more and more abject and ignoble as the differential birth rate, the deliberate encouragement of mendicancy and the failure of popular education produce a larger and larger mass of prehensile half-wits, and so make the demagogues more and more secure.” TurnsGrowsHalfLibertyDemocracyProduceTheoryBirthMassUniversalEncouragementSlaveryRateWitSecureAssuranceDeliberateSuffrageIgnobleUniversal SuffrageBirth RatePopular Education Author:H.
